   Oof. I guess sailing the high sees is back on the table.

   We are back to cable pricing, but shows and movies are all over the place and now we need multiple apps to track us.

      We are worse than cable pricing at this point from what I can see.

      It's absurd that piracy is the _best_ user experience. 1 app, 1 place for your content, no licensing deals to worry about, no outrage pulling old episodes, local streaming, the list goes on.

      You literally cannot pay (legally) for a better experience, and that makes me sad.

         There's literally no reason to pay anymore. Even if you want to do the right thing they moved the goal posts every year, if not more. Paying for no ads? Have ads anyway!

         Zero options to get the content you want at a fair price. Plus, OpenAI and Anthropic have paved the way for everyone: any content you can find online is fair game! I don't download any content. But, hey, if my agent does? I mean OpenAI and Anthropic can't control their agents. How could I possibly be expected to?
